You have just
stumbled upon a most intriguing book, a book titled Myst. You have no idea where it came from, who
wrote it, or how old it is. Reading
through its pages provides you with only a superbly crafted description of an
island world. But it’s just a book, isn’t
it?
You are about to
be drawn into an amazing alternative reality.
The entire game was designed from the ground up to draw you in with
little or no extraneous distractions on the screen to interfere with the
feeling of being there. Myst is not
linear, it’s not flat, it’s not shallow.
This is the most depth, detail and reality you’ve ever experienced in a
game.
Myst is
real. And like real life, you don’t die
every five minutes. In fact you probably
won’t die at all. There are no
dead-ends, you may hit a wall, but there is always a way over or around. Pay attention to detail and collect
information, because those are the pieces of the puzzle that you’ll use to
uncover the secrets of Myst. The puzzles
you encounter will be solved with logic and information – information garnered
either from Myst or from life itself.
The key to Myst is to lose yourself in this fantastic virtual exploration
and act and react as if you were really there.
As you reach the
end of the book, you lay your hand on a page.
Suddenly your own world dissolves into blackness, replaced with the
island world the pages described. Now you’re
here, wherever here is, with no option but to explore… MYST !!!
